Olympic gold medallist to talk at charity lunch

A FEW places are still available for a charity lunch at Leander Club in Henley on Sunday.

Rower Heather Stanning, who won gold in the womens pair at the London Olympics and is a Royal Artillery officer, will be the special guest at the event, which is in aid of ABF, the Soldiers Charity, which supports serving and retired soldiers and their families.

The lunch will feature an auction with three items: a night at Leander with dinner and bottle of wine for two (valued at £200); a chance to scull with Stanning on the Henley Royal Regatta course; a Team GB training shirt signed by all the current members of the womens team.

To bid for any of the items or request a place at the lunch, send an email to Tim Lloyd Davies at daviestl@hotmail.com
